On display at Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, National Air and Space Museum. Intended to be an aerial "Model T" that could also be driven on the road, the price tag of $ 12,500 was too high for the average family. Only one AC-35 was built.

With "Department of Commerce" badge on rear fuselage. On 2nd October 1936, test pilot James G. Ray landed the AC-35 in a downtown park in Washington DC where it went on display. Later that month the aircraft was converted to drivable configuration by folding back the rotor blades over the fuselage, the propeller disengaged, the tailwheel put in gear and the front wheels used for steering. Ray then drove it through Washington to much acclaim to be handed over to the Aeronautics Branch at the main entrance of the Commerce Building.
